We’ve supported this on the fediverse for a while, and we’re now doing it for Bluesky too. You can use Bridgy Fed to automatically generate a Bluesky presence for your web site, and you can follow any site that has microformats2 or an RSS or Atom feed. Bridgy Fed extracts profile info, converts blog posts to Bluesky posts, etc.
As examples, check out Nature and Electrek. To get started, enter a web site here.
Beyond that, lots more happened over the last few weeks:
- Lots of improvements to replies
- Bug fix: stop duplicating posts occasionally
- Removing reposts
- Bluesky labels, fediverse content warnings, and the
sensitiveflag - Post language
- Blocks
- Improved interop with Firefish, Akkoma, Sharkey, and other fediverse projects
- Disabling the bridge for Bluesky => fediverse can now be undone
- Drop spam filter requirement that display name is different than username/handle
- Lots of improvements to reliability and infrastructure
- More docs!
On a minor fun note, I counted tests recently, across the parts of the Bridgy Fed stack that I maintain – including granary, arroba, lexrpc, etc – and there are currently 2680 total. 🤩
Standard disclaimer: Bridgy Fed is non-commercial, free, open source, and ad-free, and I have no plans to change any of that or ask for donations any time soon. It’s one way I try to support and give back to the open social web.
As usual, feel free to ping me with feedback, questions, and bug reports. You can follow the now label on GitHub to see what I’m currently focusing on. See you on the bridge!
@snarfed.org i love you
Examples:
@nature.com.web.brid.gy
@electrek.co.web.brid.gy
@snarfed.org
Also ActivityPub for WordPress supports fed.brid.gy now probably thanks to the issue we reopened last week, thanks for that!
Interesting! Excited to see how this plays out with Ghost’s coming fediverse integration 😃
@snarfed.org Awesome – thank you Ryan. Your work is deeply appreciated. 🤗
Sick Ryan. Really cool work
@snarfed.org bug report – when bridged back over to mastodon, these don’t work.
(I totally get why, this isn’t a complaint at all. Bridgy is awesome!)
Bridge them directly, not indirectly! fed.brid.gy/docs#fediver…
This is great. I was reading the instructions for using my own domain as my fediverse handle, but didn’t see instructions that worked for my Ghost hosted newsletter. It uses a subdomain I control and I figure I should be able to set it up via Cloudflare?
Hmm, yeah you need the redirects, which I assume you can’t do on Ghost, but maybe Cloudflare!
Wow, this is awesome! Thanks!
OK. With some help from Claude AI, I think I have it set up, but @triptych.oxus.net isn’t working yet, it is still only at @triptych.oxus.net.web.brid.gy Am I missing a step or does it take additional time?
Ah! I see what you mean now. Yeah this is odd, maybe related to github.com/snarfed/brid… . I’ll look.
@triptych.oxus.net@triptych.oxus.net is working in the fediverse for me!
Very cool!!
It works, but the link from RSS doesn’t convert well in this case
Probably most larger Indonesian news outlets didn’t really care about RSS. They just want more revenue (from ads, of course) when you’re visiting their website.
(Seems like og meta info duplicates the domain name in the title)
Can’t argue more, but Tempo.co is an exception. It works quite well in my daily-use RSS reader.
Interesting. Just found out that some other big Indo news outlets also has support for RSS ekawirya.com/daftar-rss-f…
Gimana cara nambahin link RSSnya ya? 🤔
Tambahkan dari laman fed.brid.gy#enter-web-site
Sayangnya untuk Bridgy Fed sendiri belum se-fleksibel itu untuk RSS parsing (untuk sekarang), dan apakah sudah mendukung subdomain seperti news.detik.com saya belum mencobanya..
Udah coba tadi @republika.co.id.web.brid.gy yg simple tapi ga bisa fetch RSSnya 🤔
Kalau bisa parsing harusnya langsung muncul kayak punya @tempo.co.web.brid.gy
Tapi RSS keduanya valid dan bisa ditampilkan dalam RSS reader, mungkin dari Bridgy Fed -nya
Barusan nambahin @asumsi.co.web.brid.gy langsung bisa muncul datanya
OMG
Once again, Ryan, thank you for your awesome job. I created accounts for my blogs. It worked instantly for most, even populating their feed with the latest posts, but one of them is not pulling posts, neither old ones, nor new ones (I wrote one last night to try). Would you know why? (1/2)
It’s this account: @setouchiexplorer.com.web.brid.gy
